Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate By A E Randell Chapter 93


    Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell


    Chapter 93 The Testimony


    Both Ada and Leopold exchanged a frantic look as they began to realize that this trial


    was not proceeding how they had intended at all.


    “Treason? Are you insane?! It is you who is treasonous!!! You should be asking your


    King’s permission before you enact or move to do anything! No one is above the royal


    family!” Ada shrieked suddenly as she banged her fists on the balcony in front of her.

    “Do you not respect his authority?” Ada snapped as she continued, her innocent


    demeanor evaporating almost instantly, “You want his throne for yourselves don’t


    you?” She snorted maliciously as she looked across at Leopold, with fire in her eyes.


    Ann was watching this all with a mixture of disbelief and horror. This was madness!


    The audacity that Ada had to insinuate such a thing, and so fearlessly in front of them,


    just proved that she thought she was untouchable in her father’s presence.


    Her arrogance was sickening and to the Elders a*s*sembled, incredibly offensive.


    “Leopold, either reign your daughter in or I will have you both held indefinitely until we


    get to the bottom of this and all other charges that we may, or may not bring before


    the court.” A female voice rose imperiously above the noise in the chamber.


    “In all my years I have never witnessed anything so embarra*s*sing within this


    chamber! Theck of respect for the proceedings themselves as well as the shrouded


    truth… Leopold… what you have be disappoints me …it disappoints us all.” The


    cold female voice continued as silence fell on the chamber.


    “I think for now I have heard enough from Ada…” the voice sighed heavily before


    continuing, “I think now … we should hear Ann’s testimony and move to render

    judgment as soon as we can.” the voice continued wearily. “Summon the guards,


    please. We’ll have them maintain order here to stop any further interruptions.”


    Almost instantly, Ada was frozen on the spot, her face still contorted in a mask of fury,


    and her arms raised at an odd angle as she had been gesturing furiously as she


    screamed.


    Leopold bl*stered angrily on the spot as four of thergest figures that Ann had ever


    seen in her life entered the chambers and marched purposely forward toward the


    center of the room.


    Two of them turned and headed directly to where Leopold stood as he shook furiously


    with anger, and the other two proceed onwards to where Ada was frozen. Without


    even breaking their stride, they moved as one, hooking their enormous arms under


    her shoulders as they lifted her feet off the ground, and continued forward, moving her


    back against the outer wall and holding her there expressionlessly.


    Ann exchanged a look with Adam who was watching it all with a curious expression.


    “Golems,” Ann whispered quietly, “I’ve only read about them, but this is the first time


    I’ve seen them in action.”


    Adam nodded faintly without saying a word.


    He had a thousand questions about a lot of things here and was a little annoyed that


    he had very little idea of the inner workings of the royal chambers.


    He prided himself on his knowledge about obscure subjects usually, but then, this


    wasn’t something that most wolves ever had the privilege of witnessing…or horror,


    depending on how you looked at it.


    “You’ll regret this…” Leopold growled warningly from where he had been f0rced to sit.


    Although the golems had not touched him, they stood incredibly close and their very


    presence only served to infuriate him further.


    “Now, Princess Ann. I hope that you will retain yourposure during our


    questioning. As it stands, our opinion of the royal line is rapidly diminishing based on


    the farce of this trial today. I sincerely hope that you will conduct yourself with dignity.”


    A brisk voice stated loudly, clearly ignoring Leopold’s warning, which infuriated him


    further.


    Ann watched his hands grip the armrests tightly as he clenched his jaw, his face a


    bright shade of crimson easily visible despite the dull light and the vein on his


    forehead bulging ominously.


    “Princess Ann, please tell us in your own words, the events leading up to and


    including the alleged a*s*sault in your own words.” A bored sounding, male voice


    intoned.


    She sighed internally. There was no stopping this now, not that she wanted to.


    “Actually, if you all don’t mind, I can do better than tell you. I can show you the events


    that urred.” Ann answered unfalteringly.


    She might not have started this whole ordeal, but she would do her very best to finish


    it, and whatever the fallout was for her father…that was his own problem to deal with.


    It was no longer any of Ann’s concern.


    A ripple of interest ran around the chamber as Ann dug her hand into her pocket and


    retrieved the USB stick, holding it up for them to see.


    “I hadn’t realized at the time, but after the incident, my personal a*s*sistant


    approached me and reminded me of a camera that I installed in my office when I first


    took over. There had been a little sabotage going on as a result of internal discontent


    with my appointment to the position, so it had been installed to root out the culprit and


    hold them to ount for their actions.” Ann exined, sessfully keeping the


    nerves from her voice.
